Screenshot
In LXQT, gnone-screenshot is not available and the existing lximage-qt -s
is in my option, broken to beyond redemption. However, the lximage-qt team introduced screengrab
instead in this issue. Hence, let's proceed to install it.
Install ScreenGrab
This step is to install ScreenGrab package:
$ sudo apt install screengrab -y
Configure ScreenGrab
This is tricky. Run the ScreenGrab application. Don't worry, it will snap a screenshot in the process.
$ screengrab
Once it's completed, you will be shown with the ScreenGrab display panel. Select the wrench to bring up the Option menu.
Configure Save Path
Now you can configure your desired save path in the "Main" menu page.
Configure Advanced Settings
Next is to configure the advanced settings. Most of the ScreenGrab functionalities are in manual mode. Hence, configuring these advanced settings to make it more semi-automatic mode as expected.
Save the Options
Once you're done with the options. Save it. Then exit that screenshot without saving it.
Update Hotkey
Now proceed to update the print-screen hotkey. Go to "Shortcut Keys
" > "Print
" > "Modify
".
Update the command section with the type of screenshot you desired. Here's a help dump from ScreenGrab:
u0:~$ screengrab -h
Usage: screengrab [options]
ScreenGrab is a crossplatform application for fast creating screenshots of your desktop.
Options:
-h, --help Displays this help.
-v, --version Displays version information.
-f, --fullscreen Take a fullscreen screenshot
-a, --active Take a screenshot of the active window
-r, --region Take a screenshot of a selection of the screen
-m, --minimized Run the application with a hidden main window
I personally like region than any others.
That's all about configuring screenshot. Enjoy!
